HELPING OUR HEROES

As an Army brat and Navy veteran, the author became familiar with the contributions and sacrifices routinely made by our troops and their families. As a token of appreciation, profits from Journey of the Lost Princess are donated to highly-rated charities that support these true American heroes. Your purchases will help us in this very worthy cause.

The main character in this romantic adventure is a pretty blonde from a small town who moves to the city in pursuit of a career that will let her avoid hardships she experienced while growing up. But achieving success in the business world demands personal sacrifices, and she becomes frustrated listening to other people's tales about trips to exotic places. At last she takes a vacation to Florida where she stumbles across a clue to a centuries-old secret, sheds some pent-up inhibitions, and is strangely attracted to gold from a treasure galleon. With her curiosity peaked by these and a foreign document she discovers among her aunt's things, she unexpectedly finds herself in a position to undertake an adventure of her own. It leads her to the Peruvian highlands and to Machu Picchu, the mysterious Lost City of the Incas. She is looking for excitement, but is not prepared for what she finds there.
